He stammered in confused accents that

His punishment would be beneficial to the
public morals. / am not sure that
ought not to ask for the prosecution of

He turned again to the terrified wit
ness, whose legs trembled beneath him,
while his cheeks were of CHASTITY pallor.
'You took one keg and you opened it,;
you found brandy in it; you stole some of
tat brandy. Pray, were there other

"There were; saw them by the light
of my dark lantern"
"Good. Did you open those kegsy"

picking up his courage little.
"You will swear, without knowing the

"How could'-
"Answer my question. Can you swear
that they contained brandyi'
"No."
''They may have contained butter. We
all know the excellence of French butter
Will you swear that they did not contain

"No."
OHe Ut JWO OIner witnesses were eX-
amined, who all swore to the same facts.
One thing was clear, that had it not been
for that unlucky little bottle of brandy,
the prosecution would have broken down
completely.
Three witnesses for character were
called.
The principal evidence was the Rev.
Benjamin Burden, rector of Rousdon.
The poor old rector, veritable peasant
priest, stood in the witness box clad in
his tattered cassock end his battered old
wig, yet bearing upon him the dignity of
his sacred calling. The sergeant handled
him with much softness and delicacy. He
made him inform the court that he was
the rector of Rousdon, that its population
was fourteen, his stipend was thSty-elght
pounds and his church was barn. This
melancholy condition of things moved the
jury in his favor and dissipated the bad
effect which might otherwise have been
produced upon a fat and we'll fed Jury,
clad in strong broadcloth, by his rags and
his evident poverty.
The counsel went on to elicit from the
rector that Dan CULVER was his church
warden, and that with his two sons he
kept the church in such repair as made
divine service possible. The clergyman
added, quite simply and with dignity, that

BLOOD POISON

Three years ago contracted blood poison.

ment came near killing me- employed an
old physician and then went to Ky. 1 then
went to Hot Springs and remained two months,
but nothing seemed to cure me permanently,
although temporary relief was given me. My
condition grew desperate and applied TO a
noted quack, but did not improve. then
used preparation which was prescribed

and aggravated my sntferings. l then placed
myself under the treatment of noted Nash

but by fall l returned home u ruined man,

so to crafty her, but to my utter astOnish-
ment had not finished the first bottle before
every ulcer had been healed.
To the present time / have used five bottles

The Rueksssr's Ordinance .

Inc chairman Of the Market Com.
mi'tee has presented an ordinance to
!ne CITY Council for its approval which
Is Plain aud unequivocal legislation
against one of the poorest classes Of
savannah S pc pie, the hucksters The
proposed ordinance will not only work
hardship and suffering among this poor
but very useful people, but it will, if it
should be approved by council, become
a source OF great annoyance to house
Keepers, by forcing them to 90 to the
gen raj mar ket which is situated from,
half mile to one mile and half fr, m
the residences OF a majority of our citi,
zehS, for the common but necessary ar
tlcIes Of food now brought to their
doors early every morning by the
enterprising hucksters,
Besides the foregoing who is it that
Is bold enough to say that if the ordiu-
ance should pass it will not Increase the
cost of living among seven cighths of the
people? The idea of placing such
articles as green corn, okra, tomatoes,
peas, potatoes, ETC., in the hands of
few monopoists, who will compel the
masses TO go to the general market for
them, or do without, would be absurd
were it not an outrage.
1t is 10 be hoped hat our "city faith
ers' will reflect well before passing the
ordinance to harass, annoy, aud injure
the people.
